Personal Statement
Education is of great value to me and I take it very seriously. To be given the opportunity to study further is of great importance to me and I intend to go as far as I possibly can with it. Attending UCONN School of Social Work seems like the best choice for me. I was impressed by the breadth of concentrations offered, and I absolutely love the idea of being able to complete my degree where I attended as an Undergraduate student. By attending UCONN, I hope to broaden and deepen my knowledge in Social Work. Here I will be able to achieve one of my major educational goals which is obtaining my Graduate degree.
After completing my Undergraduate Degree in Human Development and Family Studies from UCONN I finally received the opportunity to work in the Human Services field with a wonderful organization called Connecticut Junior Republic. Being a youth counselor there has taught me the importance of helping adolescents to develop plans that directly address their needs and they can directly relate to. I am responsible for encouraging positive youth development and to instill healthy habits that will last well beyond adolescence. For this reason I have been inspired to continue my education and become a social worker that deals with clinical counseling within organizational settings.
I am now looking forward to pushing myself to experience higher level courses in order to get a high quality education and continue helping young people and their families find a quality and healthy lifestyle. This program will be beneficial to my education and career because I am also employed in an urban environment. I want to be a part of your Casework program because I have come to realize that my passion lies in helping people who are less advantaged.
Finally, a degree in Casework will equip and prepare me to become an advocate, counselor, risk assessor and work on care plans at professional level. Currently what I can do is limited to following care
